Question | Answer |
---|---|
Mean Arterial Pressure (MAP) | A reflection of the average blood pressure in the body |
Two equations to describe and calculate MAP | MAP = CO x TPR,MAP = Diastolic pressure + 1/3 (systolic pressure - diastolic pressure) |
Total peripheral resistance (TPR) | The resistance to blood flow generated by the circulatory system |
Cardiac Output (CO) | The amount of blood pumped by the left ventricle per contraction (~5L/min.) CO = HR x SV |
Stroke volume (SV) | The amount of blood ejected from the left ventricle per contraction (~70ml) SV = EDV - ESV |
End diastolic volume (EDV) | Amount of blood in the left ventricle at eh end of diastole (relaxation) ~120ml |
End systolic volume (ESV) | Amount of blood remaining in the left ventricle following systole (contraction) ~50 ml |
Preload | EDV or the amount of blood in the ventricle prior to contraction |
Afterload | The force against which the heart must work in order to eject blood from the left ventricle into the aortaIt is a reflection of TPR |
Contractility | The performance of the heart (force of contraction of cardiac muscle) at any given preload and afterload |
Frank-Starling Relationship | States that as preload increases, cardiac contractility will increase |
Normal BP Classification | Systolic: <120 Diastolic: <80 Initial Screening/Recommended Follow up: 2 yrs |
PreHTN Classification | Systolic: 120-139 Diastolic: 80-89 Initial Screening/Recommended Follow up: Within 1 year |
Stage I HTN Classification | Systolic: 140-159 Diastolic: 90-99 Initial Screening/Recommended Follow up: Within 2 months |
Stage II HTN Classification | Systolic: >160 Diastolic: >100 Initial Screening/Recommended Follow up: 1 week to 1 month |
Life Style Changes to lower BP | Extra Rest Vacations Less Stress Weight Reduction Sodium Reduction Limit alcohol consumption Exercise |
